Gone Wild

Caldecott Honor-winner GONE WILD is a uniquely illustrated board book that introduces children to the alphabet and raises awareness for endangered animals.

This truly special alphabet book is filled with a stampede of wild animals, from the Chinese Alligator to Grevy’s Zebra. They’re so rare, they’re endangered. David McLimans’s playful illustrations transform each letter into a work of art, boldly rendered with scales, horns, and even insect wings. Once you take this eye-opening safari, you’ll never look at letters or animals the same way again.

With stunning black-and-white visuals, this zoological adventure is perfect for babies and young children.
